Rovers will check on the fitness of Darragh Lenihan but Tony Mowbray hopes the energy will be high in the camp, buoyed by Saturday’s big win over Cardiff City.

Lenihan was brought off as a precaution after complaining of a tight groin, the captain replaced just before the hour mark with Rovers 4-0 up.

Mowbray expects a light training day in the lead up to tomorrow’s trip to Huddersfield Town, with Daniel Ayala and Sam Gallagher also having felt the effects of a physical encounter with the Bluebirds at the weekend.

He said: “We haven’t been on the training pitch yet, it looks as though it’s going to be a tough training day with the rain.

“We have to double check on Lenihan, his groin was tight, Sam Gallagher and Daniel Ayala were feeling it a little bit, we will check on all of them.

“It will probably not be a bad thing if we don’t do much training.

“We will have a jog about, a little bit of passing, set plays, then come in and go to Huddersfield tomorrow and see how we get on.

“It feels as though it’s a really short period after a pretty intense game, one of the most physically intense when you look at the data. It was a high load for the team.

“To have a light few days building into the next one is okay.”

Rovers’ strong start to the season has enabled Mowbray to integrate his new signings slowly, but there has not been much progress with the injured players.

Bradley Johnson played his second game for the Under-23s at Leeds United on Friday, coming through 75 minutes, but having been out for almost three months with a hamstring injury, Mowbray doesn’t expect him back before the international break.

“He’s closer, but I don’t sit here thinking we have to dramatically change things around, as long as though we try to manage the load of the team,” Mowbray added.

“What you hope after days like Saturday is that when Tuesday comes around there’s enough drive and energy in the team to reproduce what they did at the weekend, but it’s good to have options and people coming back from injury and it’s important they feel there’s a pathway. We’ll see who comes through training.

“Bradley Johnson has been out for 11 or 12 weeks so it’s not a case of doing 45 minutes and 75 minutes and he’ll have to bide his time, especially as the team are doing okay, and he understands that as a professional and when his opportunity comes he has to grab it.”
